I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Apple (Cupertino, CA) in Aug 2013
Interview
Interviewed for one of the iPhone hardware teams. Was an intern at the time, so there was no phone interview, went straight to onsite interview. Several interviews included being shown a board of electronics and identifying different components on these boards and what their functions are.
Screening, followed by onsite. At least 4-5 hours of interview sessions. Diagramming on white board. Questions on digital design and signal integrity. Tough. Detailed. Also questions on experience and culture fit.
